571 The Secret About the Past 189 (2/2)
”Nothing much, I just wanted her to see if there's something dirty inside.”
”So, is there?”
”No.” He muttered, then clasped his hands behind his back and returned to his room.
He immediately locked the door after he closed it shut.
This incident was far too knotty for him to handle.
There were still two to three months to October, and he was about to get married next month. How was he supposed to protect her until October?
He sat on the sofa beside her. ”Da Huang, I know you're very intelligent. I'll satisfy anything you want, but you need to promise me that you won't stay in others' body and refuse to leave, okay?”
”Woof.”
”Very good. I can't believe that you're still by my side in another form even when you're dead. I'm very touched.”
He patted its head just like how he used to before, just that instead of Da Huang's head, it was now An Xiaoning's head.
At the thought of the beloved dog he once owned, his heart felt rather heavy. When he first had Da Huang, it was only a little puppy, but he spent time around it every day. It was a male labrador, and he personally bathed it every day and injected it with its vaccine. When he slept at night, Da Huang slept with him as well.
When it saw him, it would excitedly lick its face and wag its tail frantically.
However, when it turned ill and died eventually, he remained in low spirits for a very long time.
Now that he had finally moved on, he couldn't believe that he could see it again in this form.
It was really completely beyond his expectations.
When he lay down, An Xiaoning merrily jumped onto the bed. That's right, she literally jumped.
She lay down right beside him, positioning herself exactly like how Da Huang used to sleep beside him.
Although Tuoba Gucheng knew that she was Da Huang now, a part of him was still torn inside and felt that she was still Mu Ning.
It was very difficult for him to get used to, despite the two of them not using the same blanket.
The thought of a woman's body lying right beside him made it hard for him to fall asleep. Moreover, in his memory, it was the woman whom he had slept with before.
The feelings he had were simply indescribable.
From this day onwards, Tuoba Gucheng never let An Xiaoning leave his room.
He even locked the door from the outside whenever he left the mansion.
The bodyguards all wanted to know where An Xiaoning had gone, but nobody dared to ask.
Everyone was speculating whether or not His Highness was keeping An Xiaoning as his lover. If it were true, his taste was far too unique.
Although everyone had speculations, nobody dared to make any outright guesses.
Xiao Chi never saw An Xiaoning as well, but he knew that An Xiaoning was being kept in Tuoba Gucheng's room as he had gone to An Xiaoning's room to check before and found no one inside.
He had also eavesdropped on His Highness while the latter was conversing with someone in his room. The situation could not be any more obvious.
Thinking about his Young Sir, Xiao Chi felt that it was a huge shock to his morals.
Was his Young Madam actually having an affair?
Could she have fallen for His Highness?
The Prince was about to hold his wedding in August, though, so what exactly was going on?
It was simply incomprehensible.
Finally, another week had passed.
Xiao Chi received Fan Shixin's call, asking about An Xiaoning's situation.
Xiao Chi divulged everything that he knew to him. Fan Shixin reconfirmed in an incredulous tone, ”Are you sure?”
”I don't dare to lie to you, Chief. The bodyguards here all know about it. Young Madam and His Highness are living together now.”
Fan Shixin felt that things were completely doomed.
There was no longer any room for salvation.
When he hung up the call, Fan Shixin glanced at his Young Sir beside him, suddenly at a loss for words.
”Fan Shixin, you do know the consequences of lying to me, right?” Jin Qingyan went right into it. ”Tell me what is going on.”
”Yes, Young Sir…” He did not dare to look at Jin Qingyan's face as he repeated everything Xiao Chi had told him.
